Held on Wednesday, October 6 at the newly-opened Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles, the 2021 WIF Honors celebrated Trailblazers of the New Normal: the women who are transforming the entertainment industry for the better with innovative reimagining of how the workplace can be set up for women to support each other with compassion, care, and a renewed commitment to equity across intersectional identities. The iconic Crystal Award was presented by Carl Clemons-Hopkins to their co-stars Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder, for performances on "Hacks" that bring to light issues that WIF has been addressing for decades: sexism, ageism, and harassment in the entertainment industry.

Founded in 1973 as Women In Film Los Angeles, WIF advocates for and advances the careers of women working in the screen industries—in front of and behind the camera, across all levels of experience—to achieve parity and transform culture.

We work to change culture through our distinguished programs, including mentoring, speaker and screening series, a production training program, writing labs, film finishing funds, legal aid, and an annual financing intensive. WIF advocates for gender parity through research, education, and media campaigns. And, we build a community centered around these goals, anchored by our signature events, including the WIF Annual Gala and Female Oscar Nominees Party, along with programs honoring the achievements of women in Hollywood, like the Legacy Series. Membership is open to all screen industry professionals.
